Heiberg's Speculative Logic and Other Texts

by Jon Stewart

This volume features Johan Ludvig Heiberg's most extensive treatment of logic, namely, his Outline of the Philosophy of Philosophy or Speculative Logic from 1832. This work was originally used as a textbook for Heiberg's students at the Royal Military College. It follows closely G.W.F. Hegel's main statement on the subject, the Science of Logic. This work foreshadows a number of later Danish discussions about issues related to Hegel's logic, for example, the question of a presuppositionless beginning, mediation, movement in logic, the validity of the law of excluded middle, and finally the relation of philosophy to religion. Heiberg's Speculative Logic was the first of a series of Danish works and commentaries on Hegel's Science of Logic that appeared throughout the late 1830s and 1840s.
